A German episode about the craft of film editing: why the best cuts go unnoticed.
Four rules that editors and camera operators work by, each shown live in a program monitor and a timeline: cutting on action, letting the sound lead (the J-cut, which you hear in the mix before you see it), staying on one side of the axis, and the Kuleshov effect, where one unchanged face reads as hunger, grief or joy depending on the shot before it. It ends on one idea: you don't see the best cut, you feel it.
